Another update…

I’ve been able to test the joystick circuits, the additional serial port, and now thanks to
Dave Philipsen, the SRAM.  Thank you Dave, that really helps put my mind at ease.

It all looks good and we are a go, so the board order has been placed.

All the other components have been received or are on their way except the SRAMs
and the AD chips, which I’ll get ordered this weekend.

The new top plates are in from Tim Linder.  Thank you for your help on this Tim, very appreciated.  :)

I should be building these starting in about one week.
